Dear Dave,
You’re a good man, your soul was good, and your friendship was a blessing to all you kept dear. I miss you and wish I had said more that day you left, your last message was that of a man ready for change. This loss is so unnecessary, it was not your time. Rest easy, I bet heavens a better place since you’ve arrived. Sadly missed by all you’re name will always bring a smile or a tear to those who truly knew you.
I will miss you greatly. You always were there for me. You always made me feel like a brother. I’ll never forget you
Dave you are the only guy I would let take my Denali without me in it. You had an amazing presence about you, much love my friend. Wish you could have seen the weirdos down here in Phoenix.
Dave
The moment that you died my heart was torn in two..one side filled with headache ,the other died with you…
I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep and jll take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheeks…remembering you is easy i do it everyday,but missing you is a headache that never seams to go away …
I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain until the joyous day arrives when ill get to walk with u yet again …
Untill we meet again my friend xoxoxoxox your missed and loved by many xoxoxoxo
My heart goes out to his family and also his many good friends. He will be greatly missed but will always have a place in our hearts. Till we meet again my friend!!
To Dave’s family I’m so sorry for your loss. Dave was a great guy and will be sadly missed by so many. Rest In Peace Dave.
To The Tessie and Owen,
I don’t know either of you ,but, please know your dad was an amazing man. Dave had one of the largest hearts of anyone I know, he would help anyone. His smile would brighten up any room. Dave was a blessing and a great friend to everyone he came in contact with him. If you happened to be one of his closer friends there is nothing he wouldn’t do for you. His time had come much to early and he will be very dearly missed by many many people. David William Spies was one of the good guys, honest,proud and a true friend to all. May you rest in peace ,my friend. You are and will truly be missed.
My deepest condolences to his children and his family.

You never think you will not have a chance to talk to someone again. We haven’t talked in some time but I always thought we would bump into each other again. Thank you for being there for me when I needed a friend. I still have that toy you gave Kash. I miss you David, it was too early for you to go. You will always be in my heart.
To my good friend Dave. I like to thank you again Dave for dropping everything u were doing when u heard my dad was in the hospital and gave me a ride. It was the last time I seen my father alive and I’m forever in ur debt. Always caring for others ur a good man Dave and will b missed by many. Say hi to PA for me and hope u two r behaving up there! RIP till we met again BROTHER
I would walk through fire for you, my friend. I miss you every second that goes by. I find myself waiting to hear from you, waiting to run into you. The unbreakable bond we have is just that…. the out-of-this-world love you have for people you care about is an inspiration, it should be a marker of what true unconditional love represents and it should be explained to people just the way you showed it. I’m lucky to have been as close as I was to you, I will cherish our time together always, and revisit our memories as much as my broken heart will allow. Taylor misses you like crazy, but I’ll remind her to visit you in her dreams. I love you Dave Spies, may you rest in paradise…..
Love, always,
Danielle Jackson.
Dear Dave my heart hurts I can’t believe your gone you were an amazing man with a huge heart ,I’m so glad I meet you I will cherish the memories that I have of you forever Hotstuff you will be Dearly missed but never forgotten my friend until we meet again RIP xoxoxo
I’m so sorry to the entire family for their very tragic loss. Dave was an amazing, kind giving person. He touched the lives and hearts of everyone he met. Including me. We had our ups and downs. But at the end of the day he was ALWAYS there when you needed him. I feel very blessed to have got to call him my friend. And I thank god for each and every day I got to spend with him. An every phone call. Just knowing he was always there, humbled me. I always looked forward to him calling me telling me to be outside in 5 min,and our next crazy adventure would start. I’m so thankful I got to know him on the level I did. I’m blessed I have so many amazing memories I get to remember him by. But we should have had more time to make more. His time was way way too soon. He had so much more life left in him. And so much more love to give. I’ll cherish every memory. May he rest in peace. He will never ever be forgotten. I loved you Dave, more than words can say.

Dear David, it saddens me to hear of your passing. You have always been a good friend and the first to offer a hand and ask for little in return . You were well liked by many and will be missed by those whose lives you have touched in so many positive ways , I always looked forward you your coming by as you lightened up the most dreary of days. Your friendship was unconditional. If I had to the power to turn back time just once this would be the time that I would use it as your passing is a mistake , I don’t for a minute believe it was your time , R.I. P. My dearest friend your spirit will be carried in your memory , you will be missed by many especially those whose heart you have touched in the most positive way. Love you Dave
Respectfully your Friend, Peter Vick
